1 I
m
order to acco mm odate the vast trade exclu
sively monopOlized by this house—and of
which it is eminently deserving—Messrs.
Barker it Co. are compelled to purchase at
the'opening of seasons immense stocks of
goods in order ihattheir customers will find
proper selectipri and variety. These largii
quantities of goods, however, must be sold,
for in the dry goods business no policy • is
more suicidal than that of carrying from
• one season to another any considerable
portion of stook. After the-first and heavi
est run of trade, which usually pets in even

business commences tosubside this ex

-turning of stock on hand into money, or
in other words inaugurate the semi-annual
Bales which open to purchasers such favor
able fields. for bargains. The object of the
clearance sale will be appreciated by
merchants engaged in any line of business
where the articles handled are subject to
the rigid rules of change and fashion. So
great is the desire of prudent merchants
who are engaged as largely in the trade as
Messrs. Barker & Co. to turn themselves
I at the close of each season, that we once
heard a deaArr., with boundless experience,
say that "it pays to close out the stock be
fore a new season comes on,• even if the
goods have to be Oxon away." Barker &-
Co. never go so far in their ideas on the
subject as to actually distribute their goods
gratuitously to all corners, big they ap
proach that point very closely. They do
not take into consideration what the goods
cost them. Neither do they anticipate or
calculate how much more Money they
might realize by holding back the clear
ance and awaiting :he slow order of things,
dispose of nearly all in the usual routine
of business. But looking at the magnitude
H of the stock of dry goods of all descrip
tions, cloaks, sacques, walking jackets,
balmorals, blankets, flannehi and the thou

their \ assortaient -and which crowd their

these ends., They with no hesitating
pen mark down every yard of goods,
every article lb the stock, to figures which
none can call anything but cheaPhargaiiis,
eery cheap bargains, and advertise that
'their special clearance sale has opened.
Purchasers are invited to call through the
coludins of the leading newspapers, and it
requires on the part of the clerk and sales
men no eloquence to convince any that a
sacrifice of goods, whblesale and re

Everything is offered at \ a bargain, -

Last night kbout twelve o'clock one of
tne most bloody and 'horrible street fights
which we have been ccdled upon for a long
time .to record, took place _ln. the vicin
ity of the Mmasion Hcinse, 'Liberty street,
the result of which will, in all
prehability, seal the doom of one of
the participants, and consign one or more
Of the Others to the scaffold or penitentia
ry. 'The circumstances of the affair, as
near as we could learn at the late hour
of its occurrence, are as follows: It
seems that a ball had been in prog
'nes during the evening in the "Con
tinental" saloon, one of those sink
holes of iniquity with whielu our city is
cursed, located in the rear of the Mansion
House on Liberty :street. Tile balr had
been closed and the attendants were about
separating when a difficulty, occurredt
between a man named John AR:Donald
and another man, whose. name •we
failed_ to learn. McDonald it appears
-*as yin company with one of the
-female attdndents, whose company had
been • previously solicited by the par
ty with whom he bad the difficulty. The
two men, after wrangling a; short time in
*cords, by some, means got out into the
alley in' the rear of the saloons where
they,conmmenced.s fight.
The flght,had not progressed far before
.others wereattractod to thew:eine, and soon
the row became general. Knives were
drawn, pistols fired, bricks and stones sent ,
flyitig through the air with &reckless dis
regard of anything and everything. The
fighters
,gradually fought their way out
from the alley and across Liberty street to
the vicinity of Hand street, where it attrac
ted the attention of Lieutenant ' Wilmot,
who happened along that way and who im
mediately summoned the police. At the
time when the fighters werellrat noticed,
one of them was • lying in the gutter sur
rounded by about half a dozen others, who,

Pittsburgh Teachers' Instttnte.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, the Fifth Session of the Pitts
burgh Teacheis' Institute held last evening,
in the hall of the Third Ward School build
ing, was very largely attended and the pro;
ceedings were of sanch , interest to all in at
tendance. ,
The Institute was called to order at p
o'clock by Mr. Geo. J. Luckey, City Supe -
intendent. Mr., J. F. McCiymonds open d
the proceedings withprayer.
Mr. Luckey then introduced Hon. S. .
Wickersham, State Superintendent of t e
School Department, who delivered a practi
cal and instructive address of about fifty
ftve minutes' length, in which he .spoke of
the improvements in the school system of
the State, one evidence of this fact being
thislnstitute _and another evidence was
the action of the Pittsburgh Board of dm
-1
trol in electing a City Superintendent. e
was glad that they, in their selection, e
cured such an able and efficient teach r
and school worker as the present inou -
bent, and trusted they might ever be o
fortunate. It had become an axiom among
persons of experience in school affairs t at
no gocid public school system could be or
ganiked or maintained without a Superin.
tendent.. In most of the States where the
school system was in practice nearly every
city of ten thousand innabitants has its City
Superintendent of Schools, and so well
had it been found by, trial to operate,That
no city within his knowledge had ever
gone back to the old methoa Aof manage
ment. In the course of his remarks on im
provements, the speaker spoke of the im
provement in school buildings, which he
considered a very gratifying sign. Beier
ence was made to the new school building
in the Eleventh ward of Pittsburgh, which
he characterized as one of the best buildings
for the purpoie he had, ever examined.
The 'speaker referred also to the present
school census now being. taken in the city,
and stated that he intended to bring befo r re
the next Legislature the importance of tak
ing such a census throughout the State.'
Reference was made to the:High School and
its advantages; and upon this . point the
speaker dwelt at length. He was glad to
hear of the project for a new , building for
the High school, and hoped it would be
carried into execution. A Normal School
in connection' with the High School was, in
the opinion of the speaker, one of • its most
important adjuncts, and should at once be
established. A:Normal School:prepared the
best teachers, and good schools could not
be maintained without good teachers,
though everything else might be in perfect
order. . . •
In speaking to teachers on their particu
lar work, the speaker observed that among
the errors in practice was that of attempt
ing to teach pupils things which they could
not understand. Things which were above ,
theiryears. The evils of this course were
apparent to the most careless observer.
Another error was in endeavoring to teach
children too much of that which they did
understand, which"was nothing more than
"cramming" the mind with ideas and
knowledge, which were of no , avail, because
the mind failed to receive any benefit from
it. It was more than the mind could hold,
and.hence it lost. all.
_Another error was
in teaching from the wrong stand-point.
The proper and natural way tO.commence
teaching was by objects, not by abstract
'efinitions, as was now generally pursued.
Then, all teaching should be taught in a
logical manner. All knowedge had its
lOgical connections,land should •be taught
accordingly. The teaching, above all other
thingi„ should be done by a natural
connected method. Several examples of
the evil effects of teaching by any different
method were given, developing very clear
ly the idea. \ Another error was in basing
the instruction on a basis ;: which was alto
gether too narrow.lt is better to instruct
a child in the elements'of many' thinga, in
stead of confining , their stedies to a Sew, as
at present practiced. , - -
The gentleman continued his remarks at
some length in a praCtical and instructive
manner, and closed amid great epplanse.
- On motion of Prof; Built, a vote of thanks
was tendered to Prof. Wiekersham for his
able and instrnctive addresS,
After an intermission of \five minutes,
Prof. J. Davis took the stand, and delivered
an address about ten minutes in s length, on
the subject of "Astronomy," illustrating
his remarks by astronomical apparatus,
-which had been invented by himself.,
Miss Seaver followed Mr. Davis, and ad
dressed the Institute on school discipline.
Dividing her remarks into two. divisions,
the preventive and the curative, she took
the ground that self-control in the teache
was one of the most essential elements in
the prevention of school disorder. Courte
ousness was second only to self-control.
The teacner should not only be courteous
to the scholars, but also require courteous
ness among the scholars toward each other.
Another requisite was to keep the scholars
busy, and to do this the teacher must pre
pare herself for the day's work, study dili
gently the best way and means of
keeping the. scholars busy, and there
will be but little difficulty on this point.
rrequent recesses, singing and light um
r oast ic exercises,were all good in their places
and ()could 13e;w3ed with much advantage in
the prevention of school disorder by the
judicious teacher. If some scholars, how
- ever, needed training, the best plan was to
make the child* feel that the teacher. was
interested in it and in sympathy with it.
The law of kindness and, sympathy in this
ease would inevitably conquer. The lady
took ground against corporal punishment,
except in extreme cases. In Syracuse, New
York, corporal 'punishment was . aban
doned in tho schools, and the result was
that but eighty-five scholars were expelled
in seven months, while for a correspond
ing seven months, when corporal punish
ment was practiced, the suspensions
amounted to four hundred.
The lady's reMarks were very practical
and attracted much attention from the
teachers present. At the close of Miss
Seaver's address the Institute adjourned
until to-day at 0 o'clock A. M.
S , llnglug School.
There is no accomplishment so pleasing
as singing and with the majority of people
correct vocalization is second nature.
Training is necessary, however, and few
understand. the proper system to adopt
teaching or educating the voice. Prof. W.
IL Slack, the well known and finished
vocalist has been remarkably successful In
imparting his skill and knowledge to•
pupils, and evidences , of , his success are on
,allsidea. HO will form a class for boys
and girls at. Davis' Ball, Water street,
above the Collector's office, Allegheny; this
afternoon at half past tvlo o'clock, on the
popular basis of twenty lessons for one dol
lar. Parents should take adiantage bi the
benefit offered by „•this school, and send
their sons and daughters. •

Annoying.—There is, perhaps, nothing
more annoying to a hungry man than to go
into a restaurant , and order what he wants
and then be compiled to wait a half or
three-quarters of an hour before it is placed
before- him. This annoyance, although a
pretty general one, is never experienced at
lioltzheimer's Continental Saloon, Fifth
avenue, next door to the Postoffice.

Value of a Good Name,
Confidence is the life and soul of trade:
This holds good in all branches, and it ap
plies with peculiar ''force to the musical
businesss. Persons buying a costly Piano
or Organ must, in a great degree, be able
to rely upon the honesty and integrity of
the dealer, and, hence, it is that our friends
H. Bieber & Bro. are doing a flourishing
business, even in dull times. People know
that a piano,be it a : Steinway or ,Kindt &
Manz, or a ixell, or a Burdett or 'Carhart
Organ, personally selected by Mr: H. Kle
ber mast be strictly first class and that it
is bound to give satisfaction. The larks
number of instruments sold during this
week wcre selected, one and all, by r.
Bieber, hnd accepted with implicit confi
dence in his sound judgement and respon
sibility. And on this basis only can the
purchase and sale of a musical instrument
become a mutually satisfactory transaction.
Don't lay out five or six hundred dollars,
unless yen have the moral conviction that
the man you buy from merits your 11
confidence, and that.he keeps none bilt ,he
very best articles lu his line of brisincs:.
A Mishap
Persons who contemplate trave '.g
should always be provided with something
substantlal.in which to pack their baggage.
This fact was fully demonstrated a one of
the railroad depots in the city yesterday.
A. lady from the rural • districts arrivedon
an evening train and having no chock for
her baggage, which by the wav consisted
of a common trunk, was compelled to call
for it at the baggage car, when it was tum
bled out on the platform and broken open
and the contents scattered in profusion all
around it. She resolved to guard against
such mishaps in the future and at once re
paired to Joseph Liebler's trunk factory,
104 Wood street, and purchased one of his
first Blass trunks. •

It is strange to see with what carelessness
some invalids attend to their health." They
will procure a box of PLANTATION BITTERS,
whioh ought to be used up in a month or
six weeks, and upon , inquiry it is found
that they hays used only only two or three
bottles. Some days they have used it an
cording, to the directions, and others have
not touched it; The whole trial has been
irreg.ular, and of course a less favorable re
sult has come from their tele. If. It be true
that "what is worth doing at all is worth,
doing well," how emphatically is it true in .
Matters relatitut to the health. A few hot;
tlemil of PLANTATION BITTERS have often
wrought wonders, while in other instances
disease has only been subdued after weeks
of resistance.
